The Primary ITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Summary
The above unit standards were reviewed to align with the review of the New Zealand Certificate in Agriculture (Level 4) with strands in Arable Farming, Dairy Farming, Breeding Livestock Farming, and Non-Breeding Livestock Farming [Ref: 2212].
Consultation was carried out in June 2019 where providers with consent to assess had the opportunity to give feedback via an online survey. This feedback was addressed where appropriate.

· New unit standards 32012 and 32013 were developed relating to environmental management planning, and coordinating agribusiness activities in the primary industry at Level 4.
